Junior Driving School — Local services in Town of Hempstead

This is my second time leaving a review for the school because the first time I left one I decided to delete it because it was “too critical” and I had just started but having taken 14 lessons I think I’ve had more than enough of a reason to leave a comment now. In MY OPINION!! I don’t think the ratings accurately reflect the actual experience you have at junior driving school. First off, I’ve had 3 instructors and the only decent instructor was Junior. This driving school is extremely unorganized and they seem to have a hard time managing their time schedules. For almost every lesson I’ve had, the instructors were either 10-15 minutes late or 5 minutes early. You barely get any constructive feedback on your driving unless you ask, which I found to be weird. The only thing you’re instructed to do is “turn right, turn left, parallel park, and three point turn.” There are no actual “lessons” that you receive from these instructors when you’re in the car driving. Another thing I found extremely unprofessional was the instructors being on the phone while teaching you! Not only is it inappropriate and unprofessional but it’s also a cause for concern because a new driver could easily make a mistake and if the instructors are on their phone they may not react in time leading to an accident. One more thing I found is that this school offers lessons at a way cheaper price than any driving school which should’ve been a red flag because if something is too cheap, chances are it’s not going to be good. Overall, this school is solid 3/10, the price being affordable is a very good thing but the instructors and the school itself is not it. I didn’t even make it to my last lesson because the incompetent driver arrived 15 mins late and when I call the person in charge of appointments they brushed it off like it was nothing. Absolutely not, you’ll never see me back at this driving school. Also since I’ve wrote this review another thing happened, while booking lessons with another driving school, I realized that the person who issued my 5 hour learning certificate put the incorrect permit Id number which if id tried to use to schedule an appointment would have caused some issues to arise.

Edit- Just another update for anyone thinking of choosing this school, pleaseeee I beg find somewhere better. After switching to an actual driving school with actual instructors I realized just how much I haven't learned. The people they hire are not teachers but random people they find who have licenses. So many important driving skills were not taught because they people genuinely don’t know what...

Not sure where all these great reviews are coming from; hence the reason I picked this school for my daughter which she's currently on 3 of 10 of her classes. They switch drivers and cars on her each time, they come way earlier that their scheduled time and rush her plus end their 45min session at 32mins. The drivers are on their phone the entire time giving no instructions other than turn left, right, stop & go. The drivers also do not speak proper English, they ask my daughter personal questions like her race which is highly unprofessional & inappropriate leaving her feeling uncomfortable. Each driver is telling her something different from the other which is confusing her as she's new to all this. They need to get new professional drivers who speak proper English and can actually teach junior drivers how to actually drive! Lets see how this pans out and I will give another updated review. The office staff is nice but that's not what I am paying for unfortunately. I hope it doesn't discourage my daughter from getting...

I'm giving 2 stars based on how I was dealt with from a business stand point , the woman in the office was very nice had no issue from the start ,the first lesson the instructor was horrible he held the steering wheel the whole lesson I ended the lesson early , the next instructor was great ( Frederick) if you ever want to learn how to drive reach out to Frederick great guy . My issue started after I set up my road test , I had 2 remaining lessons which I was suppose to take before the road test , they never scheduled, so I called Frederick and found out he no longer works with them . So I scheduled 2 lesson with him , glad I did . I never received my last to lessons , when I informed them , I was told they would check and call me back I'm still waiting on that call . Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Frederick for helping me to pass my road test , and shout out to Larry for getting me to my road...
